Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the thanks-for-the-assist dept.

Guppy06 writes "Last week there was a posting about Nintendo's efforts to crack down on people selling counterfeit Nintendo hardware and software, and there was at least one reply from a guy who reported someone to Nintendo. It turns out he's not alone; according to a posting at Nintendorks, NOA's Jodi Daugherty, their director of anti-piracy efforts, says it was helped by over 400 people reporting such kiosks to them."

    I'm convinced that as a brandname, Nintendo has the most loyal following of any corporation in existence today.

    This is a multinational company that can sustain profitability by selling ONLY to their fans.

    You saw the Panasonic Q, which is perfectly legal. Take a looky at lik-sang, I think they still have them.

    FYI: The site where you can legally purchase roms is http://www.starroms.com/

    Not much there, but its about you're only bet for legit emulation on a computer.
